Read Pappy's book at least twice, and always dreamed of being a pilot in "Whistling Death". 👍 5 Quote MSI MAG Z790 Carbon, i9-13900k, NH-D15 cooler, 64 GB CL40 6000mhz RAM, MSI RTX4090, Yamaha 5.1 A/V Receiver, 4x 2TB Samsung 980 Pro NVMe, 1x 2TB Samsung 870 EVO SSD, Win 11 Pro, TM Warthog, Virpil WarBRD, MFG Crosswinds, 43" Samsung 4K TV, 21.5 Acer VT touchscreen, TrackIR, Varjo Aero, Wheel Stand Pro Super Warthog, Phanteks Enthoo Pro2 Full Tower Case, Seasonic GX-1200 ATX3 PSU, PointCTRL, Buttkicker 2, K-51 Helicopter Collective Control Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit21 Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 Need Vella Lavella/Slot first...and editor. LOL Long way to go...but yes. If a Slot map exists at some point then Guadalcanal and that battle comes first. Black Sheep will be icing in the cake. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh and for those who may not be aware the 2 star General pinning the medal on Robert Conrad is the real Greg Boyington. He was technical advisor and he also had 3 cameos in the series. https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1014490/?ref_=ttfc_fc_cl_t22 Wheels 3 Quote Download Missions, Skins, & Essential files for IL-2 1946 and several other game series from Mission4Today.

javelina Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 For what it's worth, back in 1980, Joe Foss spoke at my High School. Told a few stories about some of his flights. I remember a few classmates asking before he spoke, "who's Joe Foss"??? I was like, are you kidding me??? 1 Quote MSI MAG Z790 Carbon, i9-13900k, NH-D15 cooler, 64 GB CL40 6000mhz RAM, MSI RTX4090, Yamaha 5.1 A/V Receiver, 4x 2TB Samsung 980 Pro NVMe, 1x 2TB Samsung 870 EVO SSD, Win 11 Pro, TM Warthog, Virpil WarBRD, MFG Crosswinds, 43" Samsung 4K TV, 21.5 Acer VT touchscreen, TrackIR, Varjo Aero, Wheel Stand Pro Super Warthog, Phanteks Enthoo Pro2 Full Tower Case, Seasonic GX-1200 ATX3 PSU, PointCTRL, Buttkicker 2, K-51 Helicopter Collective Control Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheelsup_cavu Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 Not surprised to hear it @javelina. I would venture these days it gotten worse and that not 1 in 500 students would have any clue about any famous WW2 veterans.

Sea Serpent Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 I think they should do Solomons or New Guinea, 5th AF stuff first, imo. Just FYI, I recently invented a drinking game called Red West. Every time you see Red West in Baa Baa, you take a shot. 😁 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boom Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 If we're talking land-based Corsair ops over the Slot, than a great balance to the Black Sheep would have to be VF-17, The jolly Rogers. Ya canna have one without t'other. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
